Russian visa free regulations for cruise and ferry passengers

In recent years the Russian Authorities created a new law allowing cruise and ferry passengers to visit St. Petersburg without a Russian visa; all you require is your tour ticket.Visa-free St Petersburg

The tour ticket is an official document, different for every tourism company who are licensed to operate on the Russian market. Every passenger is obliged to carry their passport and tour ticket (it can be generated or sent to you at the final stage of your booking with MaxiBaltTours) while going through the Passport control.

Your MaxiBaltTours tour ticket will give you the opportunity to go on a tour of St. Petersburg without obtaining a Russian visa with a company representative (tour guide) and follow the itinerary you have chosen, however you won't have the chance to do your own activities or to go sightseeing separately from your tour group, as well as to get off the ship and wonder without a tour guide.
